The 26-year-old singer, who shaved her head in tribute to photographer Terry Richardson's late mother, shared a snap of her new inking on her Little Monsters website, adding: "You're a made woman of the art mafia."

GaGa also shared photos of the cheribum tattoo being etched onto the back of her scalp, with the caption: "Tatting Guggenheim :just an average day."

Speaking about the design, tattooist Mark Mahoney explained: "It's kind of a Renaissance era cherub, a nod to her Italian heritage."

On doing it in front of a huge crowd during the party, he added: "Once I got the pattern on, I realized it was just a perfect image for that place on the body. I knew it was going to be fine, just because it seemed to fit so perfectly right there."
